The Centre for Planetary Sciences

The Centre for Planetary Sciences (CPS) at UCL/Birkbeck is one of the United Kingdom's leading centres for planetary and exoplanetary science.

The CPS houses expertise in understanding planets from their deep interiors, through their surfaces and atmospheres, to their space environment. This expertise is complemented by world leaders in astronomy, terrestrial and solar science, life and chemical sciences.

CPS Events:

Planetary interiors, atmospheres and magnetospheres; the impact of the space environment on human physiology and life; and the application of current knowledge to investigations of extrasolar planets - worlds in other stellar systems.
